Irmãos de Jesus
Os irmãos de Jesus são mencionados nos Evangelhos. Embora inicialmente céticos sobre sua missão, alguns, como Tiago, tornaram-se líderes da igreja primitiva.
Menções nos Evangelhos
Jesus teve irmãos chamados Tiago, José, Simão e Judas. Eles conviveram com Ele na casa de Nazaré e participaram de sua vida pública.
55 This is the builder's son, isn't it? His mother is named Mary, isn't she? His brothers are James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas, aren't they?56 And his sisters are all with us, aren't they? So where did this man get all these things?"
46 While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him.
31 Then his mother and his brothers arrived. They stood outside and sent word to him and called for him.32 A crowd was sitting around him. They said to him, "Look! Your mother and your brothers are outside asking for you."33 He answered them,"Who are my mother and my brothers?"34 Then looking at the people sitting around him, he said,"Here are my mother and my brothers!35 For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
19 His mother and his brothers came to him, but they couldn't get near him because of the crowd.
Da incredulidade à fé
Os irmãos de Jesus não criam nele inicialmente. Mas após a ressurreição, estavam entre os discípulos em oração.
3 So his brothers said to him, "You should leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples can see the works that you're doing.4 For no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"5 For not even his brothers believed in him.
17 Jesus told her,"Don't hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’"
14 With one mind all of them kept devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
19 But I did not see any other apostle except James, the Lord's brother.
10 In bringing many children to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering.11 For both the one who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified all have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers
